Casimir Effects: an Optical Approach II. Local Observables and Thermal Corrections
A. Scardicchio, R. L. Jaffe
We recently proposed a new approach to the Casimir effect based on classical ray optics (the "optical approximation"). In this paper we show how to use it to calculate the local ob…

Casimir Effects: An Optical Approach I. Foundations and Examples
A. Scardicchio, R. L. Jaffe
We present the foundations of a new approach to the Casimir effect based on classical ray optics. We show that a very useful approximation to the Casimir force between arbitrarily…

The Casimir Effect and Geometric Optics
R. L. Jaffe, A. Scardicchio
We propose a new approach to the Casimir effect based on classical ray optics. We define and compute the contribution of classical optical paths to the Casimir force between rigid…
